At Your Serviceplace for society to live in. This in short has to be the mantra for Malaysia’s blueprintof alternative energy sourcesRenewable Energy (RE) has been recognised as clean and sustainable form ofenergy source. While many have been concerned with the high investment costfor green energy, the good news is-- market demand to an alternative sustainablesource will drive the price down. According to a research report published by theInternational Energy Agency, it is estimated that as the renewable energy marketdoubles, the price of RE will be reduced by at least 20%. As the cost of conventionalfuel is projected to rise, there will be a point in time when both the price of REand conventional fuel i.e. gas or coal are equal. When this happens, the country issaid to have attained grid-parity. Countries currently racing close to grid paritiesare Japan, Korea and some Southern European countries.Thus, using renewables in place of fossil fuel resources to generate electricity wouldbe a preferred choice as it is environmentally friendly. However, until we attaingrid parity, Malaysia would need comprehensive and holistic policy instruments inplace to generate the market for green energy or RE.In July 2009, the Honourable Prime Minister launched the Green Technology Policywhich is a catalyst for green technology development for Malaysia. In line withthe policy, our Ministry has also established Renewable Energy Policy and ActionPlan (REAP) where we are now ready for the implementation stage, pending theapproval from the Cabinet.The source of RE identified under this policyand action plan are biomass, biogas, municipalsolid waste, solar and mini-hydro. Under theREAP, we have also set the medium and longtargets of RE growth.By 2015, the estimated potential for electricity from sources such as biomass andbiogas is 330 MW and 100 MW, respectively. For the same period of time, minihydrois estimated to have a power generation capacity of 290 MW while that ofsolid waste is approximately 200 MW. Solar Photovoltaic (PV) is estimated tohave a cumulative capacity of 55 MW in 2015. Beyond 2020, it is predicted that158
Dato’ Dr. Halim Man“The Feed-in Tariff is amechanism that allowselectricity that is producedfrom renewable energysources to be sold to powerutilities at a premium price fora specific term. This principlehas been adopted in morethan 40 countries worldwide”solar energy will surpass all other forms of renewable energies for Malaysia. Thisis very feasible given that solar energy is the only renewable technology whichdoes not require land area (example, PV in buildings applications) and is suitablefor urban applications.In November 2009, Dr. Hermann Scheer, the German Parliamentarian whopioneered the Feed-in Tariff programme in Germany was invited to Kuala Lumpurto share his experiences with us on his involvement in driving national policieson renewable energies. The Feed-in Tariff is a mechanism that allows electricitythat is produced from renewable energy sources to be sold to power utilities at apremium price for a specific term. This principle has been adopted in more than 40countries worldwide. Germany is a world leader in RE for power generation andtoday the country has the highest grid-connected renewable energy in the world(34 GW by 2008) while to-date, Malaysia has managed to generate a little morethan 40 MW of RE. Feed-in Tariff (FIT) is seen as the most effective mechanismto drive renewable energy development aggressively. For this mechanism to beeffectively implemented there is a need for an effective legal instrument to be inplace. Therefore, there is a need for us to put in place the Renewable Energy Act.This Act will pave the way for a new era for renewable energy development inthe country.As Renewable Energy is relatively new in the power generation sector, theGovernment must provide the necessary support and legal tools for it to growexponentially and achieve our vision of sustainable development and a low-carboneconomy for Malaysia. The people must equally embrace this non-traditional waysof consuming power for a greener world, and a more diverse source of energyfor Malaysia.159
